Many overseas visitors voice such plaints about U.S. football. But few change their opinions as totally as Okoye. Last week the Nigerian-born fullback, 6 ft. 112 in., 260 lbs., led the charge as the N.F.L.'s Kansas City Chiefs hobbled the Green Bay Packers 23-3. Capitalizing on his awesome size and speed -- he can run 40 yds. in 4.46 sec. -- Okoye, 28, ran for 131 yds. and scored a touchdown to keep his league lead in rushing (1,322 yds.), and set a team record for the most yards gained in a season. For the fifth time this...
Washington expects more requests for help from the Aquino regime and is determined to do all it can to keep her in power. The Aquino rescue is certain to complicate the negotiations over the two large U.S. installations at Subic Bay and Clark. Aquino, who was thought to favor the bases, may have to remove herself entirely from deliberating the issue. Says a White House official: "The chances of a satisfactory resolution were no more than 50-50 a couple of months ago, and they're less...
...independence in 1946, the Philippines has struggled with its complex love-hate, parent-child relationship with America. Already accused by nationalists of being an American lackey, Aquino had shrewdly kept her silence -- and "my options open" -- in the matter of renewing the leases on Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Base, two of the largest U.S. installations in the world.

Says a Filipino intelligence officer: "Let's not even talk about the U.S. bases, much...
Ironically, they were shepherds of peace last week, anchored in Marsaxlokk Bay. Malta is a scarred limestone fortress fought over for centuries, the gashes of German and Italian bombs still visible from the battering it took in World War II. George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev searched for a way to dismantle their huge arsenals even while transported and comforted by their monstrous machines. Their task will not be easy. Everywhere one looked along this peculiar journey were reminders of how much the military structure girdles, orders and even calms the world. Anybody who tries to change it quickly had best...
Before he sat down with Gorbachev, the President pointedly gloried in the thunderous launching and recovery of F-14 Tomcat fighters on the Forrestal. Down in the carrier's hangar bay, Bush stood before the quieted planes and crews and talked about his view of war. "There's a painting in the White House, upstairs in the little office. It pictures Lincoln with two generals and an admiral meeting on a boat near the end of a war that pitted brother against brother. Outside the battle rages. And yet what we see in the distance is a rainbow, symbol...
